When teaching the truth about Israel and Palestine is challenged
Event Description: Consultants and Leadership Team members The Liberated Ethnic Studies Model Curriculum Institute are being brought to court (along with UTLA) because their curriculum includes discussion and analysis of the Israel/Palestinian conflict. Join us as we discuss this silencing of educators and how we can support unbiased public school curriculum.
The Liberated Ethnic Studies Model Curriculum Institute (LESMCC) believes that by centering the stories and histories of Black, Indigenous, and people of color (BIPOC), we are working to eradicate all forms of discrimination, including anti-Semitism. The inclusion of Arab American and Palestinian American communities teaches a critical understanding of the histories, lived experiences, and social struggles of these marginalized communities.
Join the conversation with our speakers:

Guadalupe is chair of the Association of Raza Educators (LA), co-founder of XOCHITL LA, member of Ethnic Studies Now Coalition, and founding member of the Liberated Ethnic Studies Model Curriculum Coalition.

Premiering the new documentary, "Honor Bound: Close Guantanamo Now!"
Along with NRCAT (National Religious Campaign Against Torture) and director Robert Corsini, Interfaith Communities United for Justice and Peace have put together a thirty-minute documentary outlining some of the many abuses of the prisoners at the facility, including interviews with past detainees. "Honor Bound: Close Guantanamo Now!" outlines our work in bringing to light a stain on this country that most people would like to forget, or in many cases don't even realize is still happening.
